This picture is everything to me.....my baby took her vaccination on Saturday and she became so cranky and was crying so much,I managed to calm her but it was becoming frustrating when it continued in Sunday and my mum wasn't around. I was bathing her at night when my mum surprisingly showed up all the way from ibadan!!!(I WASNT EXPECTING HER BECOS SHE JUST LOST HER MUM). And she took over immediately even though she was really tired from the stress of travelling and past few weeks she has been away. Monday again Atara was still cranky,I also had to go to work for some paper work....I was worried cos my mum needed all the rest she could get...I asked her mummy should I go? Will you cope with Atara crying cos you need to rest,she said don't worry she will be fine,I'll calm her down you can go to work. Long and short of the story I came back home and had to go to the market for some kitchen needs and,got back and met them like this...they slept like this for more than 3hrs and my mum didn't move at all!!!My mum is my hero, a life saver and the best mother in world. I MUST PAMPER YOU O MUMMY, don't know how God will do it but I must give you all the comfort you deserve ijn.
I love you and I thank you for your love, care and for always being my back bone.❤❤❤❤❤❤

Carers Nsw has some fantastic advice and services to use.
Being a friend or carer is hard work. It is ok to take time out for yourself.
I definitely agree with the statement that it is your right to also look after your own mental and physical wellbeing. As a mum and partner I know that many times my needs are put on the backburner.
So for me, having time out is particularly challenging.

North Mid ✍🏾Can I have a word?
Hospitals are scary.... I mean I hate them.... the cold... the smell the way that no one really knows you.
All you seem to be is a pile of notes with comments scribbled in the margins by people you may never see again.
The seats are hard and the wheelchairs squeak as they are pushed past.
And the news...you pray for good news and they sucker punch you.
You can spend hours sitting in hallways counting the times nurses walk past or doctors are laughing.
The reality is you just look for anything to pass the time.
Its like the beggars on the streets caught in a world that people try and ignore, almost lost in the cracks in the city and if you choose to you can pretend they don’t exist.
That’s what hospital waits are really like.
Emotions running between fear and hope and just wanting someone to reach out and help...

If we are caring for a loved one and know we need to be there for others as we are there for ourselves – what if you're not there for yourself? Many carers are not. How long can you keep going? We all need to be there for ourselves and look after ourselves – especially in difficult circumstances. #carer#caring#sharingiscaring#caregiving#caregiver#alzheimers

{HOW YOU EAT IS HOW YOU LIVE} // These days, it often feels like we’re inundated with information about what we should, and shouldn’t, eat. In my role as a psychotherapist, however, I’m more interested in your *interactions* with food: how you eat, when, and with whom. Often, these interactions are symbolic of the ways we move through our lives, and can provide valuable information for our work. I’ll give you and example; I was talking about this concept with a friend who is a wonderful healer and teacher. She commented that while she has been known to spend much time and great care preparing beautiful meals for her loved ones, when it comes to feeding herself, she finds that she skimps on meals or eats hastily on the go. This is often true for those in care-taker or nurturer roles; much of our energy gets poured into others, at the expense of ourselves.
•
Here’s a little experiment you can conduct this weekend; start to simply notice your interactions with food. How do you choose what you’ll eat and shop for groceries? Are you weekly meals planned, or do you decide as you go? Are you a “grazer”, or do you stick to meals? When you prepare your food- music on or off? Are you savoring the process, or do you detest cooking? Do you eat on the go? Standing? In your car? At your desk? Do you scroll through your phone while you eat? Are you a regular member of the “clean plate club”, or do you opt for the doggy-bag? Do you prefer to eat alone or with others? With company, are you the first one done or do you declare yourself a “slow eater”? Do you remember how it tastes? Do you “indulge” or “treat” yourself, or do you call this “cheating”? How do you interact with food when you’re stressed? Sad? Celebrating?
•
For the 2nd part of this experiment, consider getting curious about how these observations parallel or reflect patterns, habits or behaviors in other areas of your life. Does anything you notice surprise you?
•
**NOTE: Sometimes our interactions with food can become disordered. If you are struggling with disordered eating, or have questions about whether you are, I encourage you to seek support from a licensed practitioner.

We’ve just finished an action-packed first morning of photography and videography at Prithipura’s Infant Home. Here’s Joel filming one of the wonderful carers, Tony, as she facilitates some therapy in the sensory room.
